South Korea announced an amnesty yesterday for 434 politicians and businesspeople, including suspended International Olympic Committee member Park Yong-sung.
Park, former chairman of the Doosan Group, saw his IOC membership suspended last year after he was sentenced to a suspended prison term and a fine on embezzlement charges in a case stemming from a family feud over control of South Korea's oldest conglomerate.
The 66-year-old is still president of the International Judo Federation, a post that automatically makes him an IOC member, his office said.
The IOC ethics commission will hold a meeting and make a recommendation to the IOC executive board about Park, said Julie Lee, an IJF official.
